Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for jline3.

CVE-2026-56740[0]:
| JLine is a Java library for handling console input. Prior to
| 3.30.14, 4.0.16, and 4.2.1, the JLine3 Telnet server remote-telnet
| module does not limit the number of environment variables a client
| may inject via the Telnet NEW-ENVIRON option, and
| TelnetIO.readNEVariables() in TelnetIO.java:1127-1180 stores each
| variable pair in a HashMap held by ConnectionData, allowing an
| unauthenticated attacker to flood unique variable pairs before the
| terminating IAC SE byte and exhaust JVM heap memory with an
| OutOfMemoryError. This issue is fixed in versions 3.30.14, 4.0.16,
| and 4.2.1.


CVE-2026-56741[1]:
| JLine is a Java library for handling console input. Prior to
| 3.30.14, 4.0.16, and 4.2.1, the JLine3 Telnet server remote-telnet
| module does not apply an upper bound to terminal dimensions received
| via the Telnet NAWS option, and TelnetIO.handleNAWS() in
| TelnetIO.java:856-879 reads client-supplied width and height as
| 16-bit unsigned integers and passes values such as 65535x65535 to
| setTerminalGeometry(), allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker
| to repeatedly alternate values and trigger continuous expensive
| rendering work that causes CPU exhaustion and denial of service.
| This issue is fixed in versions 3.30.14, 4.0.16, and 4.2.1.
